Is the Capsular Bag Perimeter Round or Elliptical?

چکیده
PURPOSE To report findings that could suggest an elliptical shape of the capsular bag. METHODS Five eyes of three patients with axial length greater than 24 mm underwent phacoemulsification cataract surgery with plate-haptic multifocal toric intraocular lens (IOL) implantation oriented in the vertical meridian. RESULTS In all cases, correct orientation of the IOLs was verified 30 minutes after surgery. After 24 hours, all eyes demonstrated unwanted rotation of the IOLs ranging from 15 to 45 degrees. The IOLs remained stable in the new position in all cases until adhesion of the capsular bag took place. CONCLUSION These observations could suggest that the perimeter of the capsular bag has an elliptical shape. Therefore, the IOL tends to become fixated in a meridian of the capsular bag that best fits the diagonal diameter of the IOL.

PURPOSE To establish a fully human in vitro culture model with which to test the putative effects of intraocular lens (IOL) designs in preventing posterior capsule opacification (PCO) after cataract surgery. METHODS A sham cataract operation was performed to prepare human capsular bags from donor lenses. In one capsular bag of a donor pair, an intraocular lens (PMMA round-edge IOL or acrylic ...
متن کاملDevelopment of a Direct Explicit Equation for Hydraulic Design of Semi-elliptical Channels
One of the common concrete channels in irrigation networks is the semielliptical prefabricated channels. Manning formula is usually used to design these channels. The cross-sectional area and the wetted perimeter are required to be calculated in Manning formula. There are no analytical solutions to directly compute these parameters. Thus, numerical integration methods are inevitably used. In th...

In the early 1980s, Gimbel and Neuhann simultaneously and independently developed the continuous curvilinear capsulorrhexis (CCC),1 a quantum leap over previous methods such as the can-opener technique used by cataract surgeons to open the anterior capsule for extracapsular cataract surgery. The development of the CCC reduced the frequency of anterior capsular tears extending to the bag equator...
متن کاملCapsular Tension Rings
Cataract surgery in an eye with absent or weak zonules presents unique challenges for the anterior segment surgeon. With the introduction of the capsular tension ring (CTR), and its several modified versions, the ability to perform safe cataract extraction with the implantation of a stable and well-centered intraocular lens (IOL) within the capsular bag has increased substantially. In order to ...
متن کاملIn-the-Bag Intraocular Lens Placement via Secondary Capsulorhexis with Radiofrequency Diathermy in Pediatric Aphakic Eyes
Pediatric ophthalmologists increasingly recognize that the ideal site for intraocular lens (IOL) implantation is in the bag for aphakic eyes, but it is always very difficult via conventional technique. We conducted a prospective case series study to investigate the success rate and clinical outcomes of capsular bag reestablishment and in-the-bag IOL implantation via secondary capsulorhexis with...
